Packing, Planning & Feeling Put Together: Travel Tips for Moms with Jenn Lofgren (Episode #187)

If planning a family vacation has ever left you feeling more overwhelmed than excited, you’re not alone! Between booking the trip, organizing activities, and figuring out what everyone is going to wear- I often feel worn out before we even leave!

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Jenn Lofgren of WanderEatSleepStyle, who helps moms simplify the entire process. She combines travel planning with personal styling so you can feel prepared, confident, and more relaxed on your trip. She even helped me pull together outfits for Hawaii, and it helped me feel more comfortable in my own skin- which is often hard for me at the beach when it feels like everyone else is looking better in a swim suit.

We’re sharing practical tips on the podcast to help you plan smarter, pack lighter, and enjoy your time with your family more fully.

Coconut Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips - Seven Brothers Copy Cat Recipe

One of my family’s favorite ways to relax together is to watch movies together.
Whether that also involves a big bowl of crunchy, buttery popcorn, or just snuggling in a cozy, fuzzy blanket, it’s fun enjoying something together after a long busy day.

Nothing quite wrecks the experience by an unexpected spicy scene or an abundance of foul language.
It seems there are so many great shows with “just that one part” that makes you cringe uncomfortably.
That is why we were so happy when we discovered VidAngel!!

VidAngel syncs up with our Amazon Prime and our add free Netflix account and then gives you the option of what filters you’d like to put on. These can be general filters such as all profanity and blasphemy, or individual for each particular instance.

Cobra Kai is a favorite of my kids’ this past month, while my husband and I have been enjoying Night Agent, Fall Guy and Reacher.
